Modern off-highway vehicles demand a new level of performance, which is why is evolving the standard for heavy-duty braking systems. Today's mobile working machinery requires greater efficiency, enhanced driver ergonomics, and advanced mechatronic capabilities to handle diverse operational environments seamlessly.
Our latest high-performance solutions, including the QuickFill Booster and the Smarter Valve, are engineered to deliver major upgrades to heavy-duty drivetrains. The advanced QuickFill Booster significantly cuts down on parasitic drag to optimize fuel savings, while also dramatically reducing required pedal effort and travel for improved operator comfort. For heavy-duty operations managing fluctuating loads—such as large wheel loaders, container handlers, and articulated dump trucks—our Smarter Valve utilizes intelligent electro-hydraulic feedback to dynamically tune brake response based on application speed and machine weight.
Ready to maximize your fleet's efficiency and operator safety with next-generation braking mechatronics? Contact your representative today to find the perfect configuration for your equipment.

Severe duty isn’t a test environment—it’s the baseline. off-highway disc brake pads are built on friction formulations refined over a century of field performance in mining, construction, and agriculture. Packaged in application-specific kits designed to streamline service and minimize field downtime, they deliver predictable, fade-resistant stopping power when thermal loads peak and inconsistency isn’t an option. When the machine has to work, the brakes have to work harder. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

Whether designing a new platform or upgrading existing equipment, manufacturers rely on a phase-gate process like Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP). But the difference between standard and best-in-class systems often comes down to when key suppliers are brought into the conversation.

The highest-performing platforms take a holistic approach by engaging friction material experts early—before critical decisions are locked in. As designs progress down the development corridor, major elements like brake system architecture, packaging constraints, and duty cycle targets become fixed. Waiting too long to involve a friction supplier can limit performance potential and overlook valuable insights around wear rates, thermal capabilities, material compatibility, and application sensitivity.

At , our application engineering team is built for this kind of early-stage collaboration. The earlier we engage, the more impact we can deliver—helping teams optimize performance, reduce risk, and accelerate development. The earlier the conversation, the greater the advantage.

The off-highway equipment sector is evolving faster than ever. Electrification. Automation. Increased load capacities. Each trend brings new demands for braking and friction systems. Electric drivetrains require regenerative braking integration. Autonomous systems need fail-safe redundancy. Heavier payloads mean higher thermal loads.

The question isn’t whether brake technology needs to evolve—it’s how quickly we can adapt proven reliability to emerging requirements.

We’re working on answers that don’t compromise the severe-duty performance our customers depend on.

What trends are you seeing reshape your industry?

Material handling equipment — forklifts, reach trucks, automated guided vehicles — operate in an environment that looks routine until it isn't. High cycle counts. Shift-long operation. Loads that change every pick. Floors that range from smooth warehouse concrete to outdoor dock surfaces that catch drivers off guard.

The friction and brake systems in that equipment need to perform consistently across thousands of cycles per day without the performance degradation that drives unplanned maintenance events.

engineers material handling brake and friction solutions specifically for those duty cycles — not adapted from a larger off-highway platform. Sized right. Formulated right. Built for the application.

If you've ever had to re-engineer a mounting bracket just to upgrade a braking system, you know the headache.

We designed the SAHR RT Series Park Brake to solve that. It fits the exact same compact mounting as our manually actuated RT brake, making it a true "drop-in" upgrade. It’s a spring-applied, hydraulically released (SAHR) design—meaning when the pressure drops, the machine stops. No drama, just a true fail-safe.

Need more torque? Just add more calipers. It’s simple, scalable, and built for the heavy stuff.
